For decades, researchers have attempted to pinpoint the specific areas of the brain responsible for human intelligence. A new ...

Scientists rebuilt human brain circuits in the lab and discovered that the thalamus acts as a central organizer of cortical wiring. The findings offer new insight into how brain networks form and why ...

Researchers found differences in how brain regions work together during certain cognitive tasks, which may help clinicians ...

Modern neuroscience understands the brain as a set of specialized systems. Aspects of brain function such as attention, ...

Researchers at University of Notre Dame reveal evidence for the Network Neuroscience Theory, showing intelligence as ...

Researchers outline a roadmap for applying transcranial focused ultrasound, a noninvasive technique for stimulating the brain ...

An AI-produced rendering shows a map of mouse brain regions, overlaid with network motifs. (UCSF Illustration) Scientists say an artificial intelligence program that they compare to ChatGPT has helped ...

It’s been recognized for some time that Alzheimer’s disease affects brain regions differently and that tau — a protein known to misbehave — plays an important role in the disease. Normally, tau helps ...

Researchers have used a new human reference genome, which includes many duplicated and repeat sequences left out of the original human genome draft, to identify genes that make the human brain ...

By Dr. Liji Thomas, MD By seamlessly tracking brain growth from the womb into early life, researchers uncover when key brain regions surge and how subtle sex differences emerge before birth. Study: ...

Scientists found our brain may organize behavior by activity patterns rather than fixed regions, reshaping how brain control ...

Intrinsic neural attractors and extrinsic environmental inputs jointly steer the dynamic trajectories of brain activity ...
